APeace Conference.

Chicago, Oct 10.-The important
subject before the Methodist ministers
of Chicago this morning was the Ques-
tlon of an international peace treaty.
The matter. was brought up in their
meeting by Rev. William Jones, of Lon
don. After the regular topic of the
morning had been discussed, Mr.. Jones
stated that he had just come from the
peace conference at Richmond, and that
an English delegation would be in this
city Thursday evening in the interest of
this movement. He was not prepared to
state where their proposed meeting viii
be held Thursday, as arrangements
have not yet been made. Mr.. Jones
stated that he has held private inter
view with President Cleveland, who re-
ceiyed him very cordially The presi-
dent was by no means averse to the
plan and suggested that he arouse pub
lie sentiment IN favor of the measure as
much as possible. The ministers pres
ent took a hearty interest in the matter,
and decided to do all they could to help.

A DOCTOR IN JAIL.
He Writes Letter to the Presi-

Special to tie Globe.
SHELLEY, To-, Oct. TO- An Individual
who gave his name as A. II. Kach, NJ.
D., struck this city about two weeks
ago. He claimed to be from New York
and carries papers that show him to be
a registered physician of this state. He
came here apparently with the inten-
ton of curing all the ills that human
beings were heir to, at least he had
hand bills printed which gave rise to
this idea. There appeared to be some
thing wrong with the man from the
first. His board and other bills were
always left unpaid and on Saturday last
he was arrested and locked up on gen.
eral principles. The GLOBE cores
pendent visited him in Jail to-day and
was given the following letter by the
doctor, with the request that it be
mailed at once to President Cleveland:

The scribe received the letter and
mailed it as direct. There is little
doubt that the man is insane.

THE STORY OF "NNNCY FAT"
How Gen. Elliott Tried to Make
a Social Queen Of Her. and
Failed

Social Queen Of Her. and
Failed.
Not long since there was a brief
notice in the papers announcing the
death of Mrs. R. b. Elliott, wife of the
negro congressman who few years
ago took such an active part in South
Carolina politics, says an Atlantic
special. Possibly no, woman of the
present century has experienced such
sudden change from Indulgence to opu-
lence or has risen so quickly in, the
social scale. Mrs. Elliott was owned by,
a family of Columbia, S. G. Her mamie
was Nancy. but on account of her plump
figure she lbore the suggestive appella-
ton of Nancy Fat, She was an
amiable, humble creature. Happy and
indolent, with no ambition OF pride of
character, she was as contented When
engaged In the most mental:
toll and drudgery as when ar
rayed i'll fantastic and gaudy at
the, she danced as belle of the shuck-
ings. During the period of Republican
rule General Elliott, while i'm Columbia,
was one afternoon driving behind his
splendid pair of bays. He was dressed
i'll his usual style of black broadclotlr
and lavender kid gloves. At the corner
vi OIlc OI Tie streets he saw a picture
that proved to be the key to his destiny
1t was "Nancy Fat" She had just
drawn a bucket of water from the
pump and 1T was balanced on her tiirg
baned head, the crystal drops trickling
down her brown face and neck, and she
laughed good naturally. Her skirts,
were tucked high, and there was gen
erous display OF bare feet and ankles.
The effect was instantaneous, and the
congressman in broadclotll was hope
lessly infatuated with the merry, ignOr-
ant water-carrier. The result was
speedy courtship and marriage. The
transformation was wonderful as it was
sudden. From. the .wasll-tub aud the
cooking-stOve she became mis-
tress of magnificent home
on one of the most fashionable
streets of Columbia Gen. Elliott was
a man of brilliant intellect and uil-
bounded ambition. He was one of the
leading spirits of the Republican party,
and was regarded as one of the most in.
telligent negroes who was ever known
IN the South. He was from Boston,
Mass, and was finished and success
full lawyer. His alliance with the un-
tutored Nancy caused general surprise.
Yet she was received by his friends
with courtesy and kindness. One day

OwAToNNA, Oct. 10.-Frank 'Marhu-
Xix, a Bohemian. who resided on the
farm of Joseph Kaplau, near the south
ern limits of this city, shot and instantly
killed himself at midnight on Saturday
night. He returned from the city about
that hour, partially intoxicated, and
soon commenced to accuse the woman
with whom he was living as his mistress
OF infidelity to him. He endedby taking
down his loaded shotgun and driving
her out of the house by threats of first
shooting her and then himself. After
she had gone he commenced pulling off
one of his boots, when an old man
named Faltesek, who was boarding with
him, divining his intention of taking his
life, seized him by the wrist; but Mar
hulk shook him off, saying he only
meant to shoot the woman. Faltesek
then went to the window and Marhulik,
placing the muZZle of his gun to his
heart, touched the trigger with his toe,
the charge passing through his heart
and lung, killing him instantly. Coroner
Peterson impanneled jury and held an

that he died from the effects Of a.gun-

Special to the Globe.
PINE CITY, Oct. 10.-For long time
there has existed feeling among the
people of Pine City that they were be-
ing seriously imposed upon by the Still
water lumbermen, in the use and abuse
of the water in Snake river governed by
the ChingwatOna dam. Some years ago,
through the influence of Representative
J.. FL. McKuSick, a special law was
passed placing the dam, for sanitary
purposes, under the control of the vii
lage council Of Pine City, This law
was openly diSregarded by the lumber
men, who, when tricks and force were
exhausted, brought the power of the
district judge to bear, and used injunc-
tons where tricks and force would not
do. Last winter the lumbermen agreed
to a compromise, which they themselves
proposed, and the law was amended to
suit them: and, although the amount of
water which the amendment gave them,
left our village at the mercy of
a malariOus atmosphere and an
epidemic disease, still we consented for
the sake of peace.
This year was. Notwithstanding their
agreement, like all others-a year of
strife between saw-logs and human life
and, when the tricks were all played
except the last, the same old tactics
were resorted to-an injunction from
Judge McCluer. But the citizens of
Pine City ignored the injunction, and

in summary manner, being fully
aroused to the necessity of protecting
their families from danger and disease.
During the controversy the frequent
raising and shutting of the gates so low;

marshes contiguous to the town, that
to-day we are stricken with the disease
we fought against and dreaded. Diph-
liberia is epidemic and seriously fatal.
Fifteen cases exist to-day, and each
day adds to the number of cases.
1t is disease directly resulting, accord
ing to the opinion of good physicians,
from the drawing off the water, pur-
suant to Judge McCluer's Injunction.
We have no remedy now but the physi-
clan and the undertaken. No court has
jurisdiction to grant an injunction to stop
the disease, exr spt the court of heaven,
and unfortuH-.ely. we have no district
Judges there. We have the constant at
